How would a gal go about removing upper lip hair?

[CantThinkOfAGoodUserName]

What's best short term and long term solutions? Since having baby for some reason my tash has gone darker

I epilate as I used to get the area threaded and go my mind using an epilating machine was basically the same thing, but free! I do it probably every 2-3 weeks and it does sting but not for long. You do get a red rash for a bit though!

Otherwise you could bleach the area (just be aware that some bleaching products cause irritation). You could have it threaded or waxed.

Mine grew when I was 35, I assume as a result of my hormones changing. Very annoying as I had never had an issue with dark hair on my face previously.

Have it threaded not waxed as waxing thins the skin = wrinkles.

Sorry long term solutions would be laser treatment. Downside is it can get expensive and you may find you have to have a lot of treatments and the hair might still grow there just finer. You can get home laser products but again it's a pretty big outlay.

Threading. Feels like you're being attacked by a small lawnmower but it's quick and lasts well.

And yes, I too became more Selleck-esque post-children. Lovely.

Selleck-esque lol. That made me chuckle

I just pop into Superdrug to have mine threaded when it needs doing. Costs £2.50.

YY to threading.

Most of the time I use immac, because I am lazy and skint. But its shit really, I wouldn't recommend it. Usually have to pluck afterwards anyway.

Is plucking bad? I do that on the thicker ones but fear I may be making it worse

Plucking is good! Its just too painstaking for me, takes too long, but its really effective in my opinion. It pulls the hair out from the root.

Get yourself one of these:

Sorted!

I use the sensitive skin veet.

I have mine threaded at super drug too, it's quite public but I don't really care!

Neither do I

Thread it.

I took a pair of tweezers to my upper lip the other week, came through unscathed, no rash or spots.

I dye it with Jolen every few weeks. But, I can recommend threading. My nearest threader is in town, so difficult to get to, so in between, I dye it, which I've done since I was 17 (20 odd years).

Bleach if you have fair skin. Plucking and threading can cause hair to grow back thicker.
Avoid waxing, had it done once and my skin was red for days.

I bought one of http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C4QWDUS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 these, a special facial epilator, very cheap and very effective and quick. Definitely recommend it, much quicker than plucking.

Sorry for the link fail, I'm on my phone.

I'm currently getting electrolysis, seems to have thinned it down a little

I've been having it waxed every 4-6 weeks for ages, but sooooo bored of having to keep it up. Have been plucking for a month or so now bit its so laborious.

Had it threaded a few times but the pain was unbearable, far worse than having a Brazilian [cry].

Really want electrolysis, but don't have the cash right now.

Get an epistick - they cost a couple of quid off amazon or ebay so you've got nothing to lose. It will be toe curling first time but much better after that.

Waxing- You can wax yourself if you're feeling brave. Use the proper stuff for your face though and have a really good magnifying mirror.

Baby oil also gets rid of stray wax.

Bleach every month or so in fact it needs doing now!

I go for threading, although have to drive 20 rural miles to the nearest city and hang around in Debenhams waiting. I might think about one of the sticks mentioned above.
